From 16 valuation models · updated 22 days ago
Below-average quality, and screening another 43% overvalued on our models.

- Weak quality (28/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.

How to read this chart
60‑month range £4.07 – £14.19 · fair‑value band £2.10 – £3.50 · the £4.94 price screens above the £2.81 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 18, 2026.
Analysis
Pennon Group (PNN) currently trades at £4.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £2.81, implying the stock looks roughly 43.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 28/100 (below-average quality), in the Utilities sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Pennon Group generated revenue of £1.2B at a net margin of 2.5%. Revenue grew 24.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 2.6%. Net debt stands at £4.5B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £2.10 (bear case) to £3.50 (bull case); at £4.94, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. For context, the median of 10 Utilities peers we cover trades at -10% fair-value upside, at -43%, PNN screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount (£4.09) versus Earnings-Based (£1.33). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
